The murder case broke out on the street, which soon caused a sensation in the entire prefecture. The county magistrate of Qiao County brought several public officials, had their bodies tested, and had documents on the spot, and ordered them to be taken to the supervisor's office. The county did not have the authority to hear the case and must be reported to the prefecture. Qiao County is a county affiliated with Guo, so he went through a motion and sent it away quickly to avoid staying with him at night and dreaming.

Du Zhongxiao kept watching at the city gate and said to Han Yueniang beside him: "Look, I said I should not go to worship God, but you insisted on not listening. After walking to the city gate, such a big case occurred. Forget it, let the platoons carry incense and candles to burn it. How can we officials and families worship?"

Han Yueniang said strangely: "You become an official, why can't you go to worship God?"

"There are all small local gods that were granted by the court to protect local people. They have officials and enter their temple gates. I am afraid that the gods will be confused and don't know what to do. Listen to me, don't go there, and don't worship them casually in the future."

Han Yueniang was skeptical and had to order two platoons to carry incense and candles to the temple, and she would not leave the city.

County Magistrate Zhong made all arrangements over there and came to pay a visit to Du Zhongxiao: "The officials have seen Jie Tui. It seems that this murder case in the street has not been seen for many years in this city, which is really shocking. Such a big case is not dared to interrogate, and it has been moved to the State Council. Since Jie Tui personally saw the matter, why not go to the State Council with the Xiaguan to explain it clearly to Manager Yan. It is as if he was arrested on the street, and he was speechless and could not explain it clearly."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "That's good. You go to the state yamen first. I will send my inner family home, change the public uniforms, and I will go there."

County Magistrate Zhong bowed his promise and thanked him for his gratitude and took his men to the prefecture.

Du Zhongxiao said to Han Yueniang: "I can't help but run into it today. How can I stay out of the matter? I'll take you back and go to the state yamen again."

Han Yueniang kept turning around and did not dare to see where the murder occurred. When she heard Du Zhongxiao talking, she said, "That child is not a fierce person at such a young age. I heard him say that it was someone else who broke his family by greed for money and came to take revenge. You heard all these words, and when you arrived at the government office, you would explain them yourself. Although it is wrong to kill someone, you will always feel sorry for being ruthless."

Du Zhongxiao said, "I understand. You turn around and twist your body to speak, and I feel awkward when I look."

Han Yueniang whispered: "I felt a little scared when I saw the blood. Have all those people left?"

"The county magistrate of this county came with the public, so naturally they all left."

Hearing this, Han Yueniang turned around and saw the blood not far away, and couldn't help but say "ah".

Du Zhongxiao summoned Chai Xin and asked him to arrange for the platoons to carry incense and candles to burn them, and to send Han Yueniang home with him.

Helping Du Zhongxiao change his public uniform, Han Yueniang whispered to Du Zhongxiao: "I think that child is very pitiful. He has revenge for his family and then went to kill people. If there is a way, the official might as well help him and save his life."

Du Zhongxiao was silent for a while, turned to Han Yueniang and said, "I should have told you, "Fathers, don't ask about business affairs. Oh, what do I say, I know how to do many things, but I may not really do it."

Han Yueniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Then stop talking. I said you just listen. It's not convenient to do it, so just pretend you didn't hear it. Speak seriously, then what's the point of living this life?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly, turned around and sat down: "I think so too. I am afraid that you will not be able to judge and become accustomed to nagging in the future, so it will be difficult to change, and I will be annoyed. In fact, I have a few choices for today's affairs. I hesitate in my heart, and you can help you make an idea."

Han Yueniang tilted her head and said, "My wife, how dare I help you with your advice on business? But it's okay to talk between husband and wife."

"The crime of committing crimes in the street is the most serious. Common sense, the child's life cannot be saved this time. There is only one way to save his life, that is, to prove that the deceased committed a serious crime that was unforgivable, and that child is really revengeing his parents. Even so, he has to add to the repeated revenge of the officials and not being able to interrogate his sentence. However, in this way, he offended his colleagues in the state--"

Han Yueniang said strangely: "Isn't your life a political achievement for being an official? How could you offend your colleagues?"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "We moved here that day, and I heard Chai Xin say that this was the house of Tao Shiqi's family. He had reported to the officials many times, but there was no result. Think about it, he had not been allowed to seek justice when he reported to officials the past few times. Now he killed people in the street to find out. Didn't it mean that the previous officials' trial case was unclear? This is a big life case. If one is not good, officials will be punished for it."

Han Yueniang nodded, was silent for a while, and then said, "Even so, living people's lives will always accumulate merit."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, I think so too. In fact, the current prefects, magistrates, and magistrates have been appointed as officials for a short time, and most of them have nothing to do with such old cases and are not a big deal. On the contrary, the public officials below are afraid of being punished and are afraid of making interference. Not to mention these, even if the officials in the state work hard together and really want to investigate this case, there is one thing that is not easy to deal with anyway."

Han Yueniang pushed Du Zhongxiao's shoulder: "If you have any difficulties, just make it clear, how can you soothe people's appetite!"

"I just asked, the deceased was an official from Yongcheng County and came to the state to urge the documents. Except for the several public officials in the yamen, there was no familiar person in the state. Tao Shiqi has always lived in the state, so how could he have something to do with his family? I'm afraid that the child would kill the wrong person-"

"Ah!" Han Yueniang couldn't help but cover her mouth. "This - there's nothing I can do about this!"

Du Zhongxiao looked at Han Yueniang quietly. After a while, he sighed heavily: "Although I have been an official for a short time, after I passed the Jinshi, I have also studied official duties in the capital for several months. Every time I pass by on the road, I have to talk to officials, and I have learned a lot. If I guess I am good, since the deceased has no acquaintances in the state city, the case will probably be settled like this, and the child will not escape death. But-"

When Han Yueniang heard this, she couldn't help but feel anxious: "You're going to keep talking, you're so anxious!"

"How could a person in his seventies admit his mistake when he murdered people in his street, and he was so decisive. Do you believe it?"

When Han Yueniang heard this, she was stunned for a while before trying to ask: "You said, there may be any hidden information in this case?"

Du Zhongxiao nodded heavily: "The child's eyes were clear, and he was full of smart spirit from the inside out. How could he be so confused! Of course, maybe I was wrong, so let's not mention everything. If I saw it well, people like Tao Shiqi, how could he recognize the wrong person? If I didn't recognize the wrong person, then this case is very likely related to Yongcheng. Many of the officials in the yamen are not clear about the idle people outside, and it is not uncommon to be involved in the case."

Han Yueniang said: "Since you think so, you should save the child's vitality and find out!"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head and sighed: "That's why I have to discuss with you what kind of official position I want to be. After being a Jinshi and receiving this salary, it will be a lifelong matter. If you kill someone in the street, such a serious case must be tried as soon as possible. If there is any hidden information, it will definitely not be possible to find out in a short time. I am a prosecutor, and this case can be managed or ignored. No matter what, eight out of ten are to be asked to be executed as soon as possible-"

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "If I want to protect Tao Shiqi, I can only drag this case down first and take advantage of the opportunity to go to Yongcheng for some time to investigate. I am a new Jinshi, and I am a state official, procrastinating the case, hey--"

"There are two types of officials. One is to be cautious, take every step, and not take risks. I am such a person. The other is to be aggressive. As long as you determine it, you will not care about what others say and do it."

Han Yueniang was stunned for a while after hearing Du Zhongxiao's words: "A small thing, why do you think so much? Life is at stake--"

Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "Tao Shiqi killed people in the street. Even if he found out that he was revenge, his life would be difficult to save, unless the emperor was the Deyin. But he fought his life to find out the case and let him go with peace of mind. But when I took this step, I was just such a person in the eyes of others. In the future, it would be difficult to change his habits in the officialdom. I will always ask you if I were a couple."

Han Yueniang looked at Du Zhongxiao and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Du Zhongxiao said: "You may think I'm making a big deal, but it's not. This is what it is to be an official. If you do something, everyone will remember it in the future. Listening to your name, you will think of it first, and then you will tell what kind of person he is. Before taking the Jinshi exam, I once wrote a fu article. Many people knew my name because of this article and thought I would do that. Until I passed the Jinshi exam, no one mentioned it. If I tried to protect Tao Shiqi this time, I would be affected by this for many years. His life could not be saved, and it went against my original intention, so I felt embarrassed."

This is image construction. In the future, the road to officialdom is long. Du Zhongxiao must think clearly about what kind of officialdom to be. If Du Zhongxiao disagrees with most officials, he will become famous this time. He spread in the officialdom, no matter where he goes, the first impression he gives to others is.
